Farmar planning to join Vujacic and play overseas?

You can't live in the past, but what you did to win before certainly helps people remember your name.

Although not everyone in the NBA can get an offer to play overseas, two former Lakers guards who helped the team to championships are getting their calls: Jordan Farmar and Sasha Vujacic.

Vujacic's $15 million contract, offered by the Lakers in 2008 but traded to New Jersey this year, expired at season's end -- meaning Vujacic had some freedom now during the NBA lockout. He decided last month to commit to play overseas for Anadolu Efes Istanbul.

Farmar, who served the Lakers as a union rep and works in that role for the Nets, stood alongside mentor Derek Fisher in New York in a business suit when the lockout was first announced in late June. Obviously, Farmar is well aware of the divide between the players and the owners.

Farmar held his fourth annual Hoop Farm basketball camp late last month at UCLA's John Wooden Center.
